Gun to your head, why are people holding guns to your head to ask questions about baseball?

I find Justin Upton to be really boring for some reason - not bad, just boring. Are there any otherwise decent players that for some reason make you say "Meh"?

agree that Upton strikes me as strangely uncompelling, given how good he is.

1:00

maybe Evan Longoria?

1:00

just a good hitter and good player without any real remarkable qualities that stick out

Mets, Cubs, Indians as the top three rotations in baseball (not necessarily in that order) - you buying? If no, who are you replacing and with whom?

august fagerstrom

1:01

yeah, those 3 comfortably stick out from the rest in my eyes

thoughts on a DH in the NL? there was recent noise this weekend about it... as a traditionalist, I would love it... you know cause the DH has been around my entire life and then some... time to get rid of the crazy variation that forces different leagues to alloacte resources differently yet compete against each other

I'm all for it and think it will be a reality before too long

Outta my way, Gyorkass!

That Trout hypothetical was kind of a long winded way of asking if he had accomplished enough in his career thus far to elicit an HOF induction, while accounting for the 10 year service time requirement.

just shy. but close

which is completely and utterly insane to think about

Could you see a scenario where the Mariners move the fences back at Safeco?

for starters, the first pitch that I'd need to have is Cole Hamels' changeup

1:05

that one strikes me as entirely obvious

would definitely take Fernandez or Kluber's breaking ball, too. Give me Fernandez. Darvish's slider comes to mind, but I'm not sure its shape is the perfect fit when we've already got the Fernandez breaking ball. Maybe would want something more horizontal, like Liriano's. And then give my Syndergaard's fastball
